the apartment was a great place for the price -- it was clean and rather spacious, had modern amenities, and was located in a lively, non-touristy area of bangkok. wimonpak was quite sweet as well -- she explained to my taxi driver how to find the apartment when he was having difficulty (twice), gave me a solid lay of the land when i arrived, and was sure to check up on me to see if i had any questions. all in all, a great find!
